Sandy Farquharson says watching pro padel teaches you more than entertainment. Women's matches have longer rallies and deeper strategy; men's are faster. Pick a right-side pro you like and study their movement, positioning, and shot choices to improve your own game.

I think there's also a side to watching live where if you can really zone in on some of the fundamentals that the pros are doing, you can pick up insights in your own game, right?
Yeah, and I would say probably like if you're watching for entertainment, you might watch the men's side. It's faster, more explosive. But if you're watching to learn like the strategy and the setting up of the point, you might watch the women's side. Like they're typically longer points. They don't have the firepower of the overhead, so it's more difficult to finish. So they need to do a bit more strategically to finish the points. And I would also say for a player, like if you're a right side player, try and find a right side player that you like, that you think plays a nice style of game that you would want to emulate and almost just, just watch them, like watch them how they move, watch their shot selection, where they are on the court, how they make their decisions. And that can be something that really like can help you visualize what you need to do within your own game.
